Among the speakers will be Dennis Hayes, the Earth Week 1990 Chair, Randy Hayes, the Rainforest Action Network Director, David Brower, the Earth Island Institute Chair and author of Star ship and the Conoe, Barry Commoner, Director for Biology of Natural Systems and author of The Politics of Energy, and Norman Myers, a World Bank Consultant and deforestation expert. As the largest student environmental organization of its kind, the UCSU Environmental Center should be represented at this conference, both to let others know of the tremendous resource we have on our campus, as well as to g9-ther information for the students at the University of Colorado. This will also be a chance to gather ideas for Earth Week 1990 from both students and National Earth Week committee members. Earth Week will be occurring, at this campus and across the nation the week of April 16th. BILL SUMMARY This bill will allocate $396.00 + GAR to send two students to the 1989 Threshold Conference.
